You may recall that a little while ago, I wrote about Lavanya Fantasy Suites, where you could hire that dream romantic location by the hour or by the day. But the suites are not the only thing that Lavanya offers.
If you turn the corner from the amazing array of rentals in the central area, you’ll find a sign for Lavanya’s pre-fabs (and another for the condominiums, but we’ll look at that another time). Choosing the prefabs will lift you high into the air and onto her skyway, where an amazing array of prefabs will greet your astonished eyes.
Make no mistake, these are no ordinary prefabs. For one thing, they are all beautifully and equisitely designed and furnished. For Lavanya Holdings seems to have a mainline into many of our favourite fantasies, and has created a prefab that will fulfil that need. Just take a stroll down the astonishing skyway. There’s the opulence of Eastern palaces, a riot of rich cushions and rippling fountains. But there’s the Pacific beach hut lifted to wildly extravagant luxury, and the white clapboard house ready to be placed on some long pale North Eastern seaboard beach.
The prefabs are being added to all the time. When I called in, I was shown a delightful Italian villa that was still being worked on, a home, it seemed, all ready for a Contessa of delightful tastes. By the time you go, there may well be several more to admire.
Some of these are clearly designed to have their foundations (or perhaps their stilts) planted firmly on the ground. But some of these are equally designed for the sky. I was very taken with the collection of opulent roundels that came complete with a vast propellor underneath to keep the whole rich confection in the air. But I was completely smitten by the plain box you see at the head of this article.
Because once you step inside, you’ll find yourself in the most amazing hideaway – a series of elegant white terraces with strewn roses and a plethora of rugs and couches. To say nothing of a pool for cavorting in – no, you really couldn’t swim in this pool. You just have to cavort.
And inxorably the stairs and their romantic nooks lead you upwards to a wickedly luxurious bed where, doubtless, with a quite unparalleled view, you’ll be able to do some more cavorting.
Clicking on the wider picture here will give you just a taster of the place. But this is one that you really should go and see for yourself. Lavanya Hartnell, her partner Dode Goodliffe and their small and brilliant team have excelled themselves.
You’ll never look at prefabs (or skyboxes, certainly) in quite the same way again.
